    large fried shrimp platter, grilled halibut, clam chowder
    Lyn N.

    Cute little fish market restaurant near the aquarium. The fried shrimp was plump and the fish was fresh. The clam chowder was tasty with tiny chunks of clam.

    Clam Chowder and Fish & Chips
    Devin M.

    9/10 Ordered the Clam Chowder and Fish & Chips. Both were solid choices if you're craving seafood! Starting with the clam chowder, it was good and definitely filling. The flavor was rich and creamy, and the bread bowl made it even better. My only critique is the presentation. It looked like they didn't put much care into serving the chowder in the bread bowl, so it came out a bit messy. I also wish the bread had been toasted, which would've added a nice crunch and taken it to the next level. Even with those minor issues, it was still an enjoyable bowl of clam chowder. The Fish & Chips were the highlight of the meal and an absolute must-order! The fish was perfectly battered, crispy on the outside while staying flaky and tender on the inside. The coleslaw was surprisingly delicious and paired really well with the fish. Add some tartar sauce, and it becomes one of the best fish & chips I've had. Service was fast and efficient, and the ambiance was great. There was plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal.

    This is a self seating and then go to the counter to order type of place. The water is disgustingly. The codfish tacos were cool. Fish was flaky and not overly cooked. There are two bathrooms on the outside and the restaurant was relatively clean. The food was prepped quickly. Street parking is available nearby (free and paid).

    Seafood kabob

    Sea Harvest is a restaurant and fish market. For the restaurant, you order at the counter and get a little device when your order is ready for you to pick up at the counter. Super casual, but good, fresh seafood. I had the seafood kabob which had a whitefish, salmon, and a prawn along with onion and bell peppers, served with rice and steamed veggies. All very good. My friend had fried clams, which came with French fries and cole slaw. Unlike New England fried clams, these were in little strips. Not as good as those enjoyed in New England, but still pretty good. All considered, a tasty lunch. They have indoor seating and outdoor seating and parking was easy in their little lot.

    Food was delicious but service was a little questionable. Me and my friend came on a super busy day, and it seemed like the cashier was annoyed and trying to rush us to order asap. Wait times were long but I appreciate the buzzer given to alert us when our food was ready. I would come here again because the food is so good, but removed a star due to poor and impatient service.

    Stopped by on Friday 6/19 for an early lunch at about 11:45 am. The outdoor patio was pretty full but indoor seating was plentiful. At about 12:30, the interior was full. Interior is small and simple but that worked for us. This place is a fish market but also serves food and sells miscellaneous items (shirts, dog snacks). You order at the counter, find seating, and are given a pager. Utensils and napkins are available on the counter for you take what you need. Items ordered: Pint of clam chowder x2- Just okay for me. Plenty of clams but some had sand. Combination fish and chips- Delicious and the fries were good. Kids chicken tenders- Kiddo enjoyed this and his fries Special salmon patties and grilled shrimp with rice and veggies- 2 Salmon patties that tasted okay (I am not a huge cooked salmon fan but will try something different on occasion), 2 garlic shrimp, rice, and plenty of veggies. Garlic bread- Bread was light and not super dense. I also liked that this was not cheesy. Fish and chips- Generous amount of delicious fish and fries.

    Yeeeee strongest one if that matters to you

    Surprisingly empty on a Saturday afternoon, came after a rough spartan race. Prices were affordable which I always thought any town by the sea would be expensive but then again this wasn't right by the ocean. Was a good feeling meal for the price just got some basic fish and chips and fish tacos which were both good. Loved the fish on the fish n chips tho but it is more on the oily side. Calamari was a little different than expected, personally wasn't a fan of it. They have outdoor seating as well after you walk in which was nice being outdoors. Solid solid spot for a coast town restaurant. Ugh didn't get a picture of my tacos :(

    Clam Chowder Pint

    The fish & chips were excellent - the batter was exactly how I liked... light, crispy, beer battered! The fish was moist inside. The petrale sole was nicely grilled with a crisp carmelized exterior. The fish was flaky and moist. Clam chowder was really good too. Nice, creamy, chunky texture with nice pieces of clam. We spent about $60 for everything. This is a no-frills place and we really enjoyed the food. Definitely a highlight of our trip being from LA.

    Fish and chips! So fresh and delicious

    Food is made to order, it taste so fresh and delicious. The ambience was as a plus to sit outside and enjoy your meal.

    When we were in Monterey for a conference I googled where do locals eat seafood and Sea Harvest popped up. It's a no frills seafood market and restaurant. You get in line, choose your seafood and the way you want it prepared. Grab a drink from the fridge and pay. Then find a seat either inside or outside. Wait for your buzzer to chime. I chose the bay scallops, fried. My husband got fish and chips. The portions are huge. And the prices are way less than cannery row. There's a small parking lot as well as street parking. The bathrooms are outside which was a little odd.

    It's a walk up and order place- nothing fancy. Got the combo fish, shrimp, calamari and chips. It was fine. Shrimp was under cooked so we did not finish it. Liked the patio seating.

    Stopped here for a quick lunch, extremely fresh and fast. We ordered fish tacos, calamari, oysters and some beers. Everything was quick, there was a long line so plan accordingly. The outside seating is first come first serve.

    Good place to stop by for a fresh seafood lunch - just be aware that you need to grab a table first before you can order food for dine-in or otherwise you can do take out. You order up at the counter - be sure to check out their daily specials. I had the grilled prawns and salmon patty special which came with rice and vegetables. The prawns had a delicious garlic butter sauce on them and the salmon patties were pretty good. My husband had the fried rockfish sandwich which came with fries and coleslaw. Tasty lunch overall!

    Clam Chowder. On my lunch break.

Parking is sparse in front of the restaurant but paid parking is nearby. We entered and wow, the place was busy. Not overwhelming but lots of people in the indoor dining area enjoying their food. The menu is overheard and we decided what we wanted and ordered. The employees were kind and helpful, we probably were the only people that didn't speak Spanish well in the restaurant but that wasn't an issue, SCW got the number 2 combo, I got the mole. Also ordered an appetizer. Seated and waited about 10 minutes and our order came out. Everything was freaking amazing. Such great flavors and so fresh. Even SCW who doesn't necessarily gravitate towards Mexican food made nom nom nom sounds the whole time. The mole was incredible, the best I've ever had. The whole time we were here it was an endless stream of customers, even late lunch hour. SCW was impressed by the contrast stream of people coming in. We even walked around the wharf nearby for a while and drove past again and it was still packed with people. Do yourself a favor and visit El Cantato. I know I will.

It took our party (8 people) a while to decide as we were spoiled with choices. But we had time as it was pretty busy for a Friday around 1. I ended up getting the carne asada nachos and the aqua Fresca that they had that day (mango and watermelon I think). Both were absolutely spectacular. The picture included might not show the best scale but I had 2 others helping me to eat this plate and otherwise I would not have been able to finish it (even as a larger man). The crunchy jalapeños with the chips, beans and guacamole were the perfect balance. As a meat eater, the texture of the faux meat was a touch odd, but the flavor more than made up for it. The staff was helpful and attentive even as they were balancing supporting customers, answer phone orders, and taking regular orders. My wife and will definitely be stopping by here more often!!

I mentioned breakfast burritos and as quick as that, the kids forgot all about those crappy waffles. We stopped in and ordered a variety of burritos and bowls. Everyone, including my pickiest 11 yr old, were satisfied with their meals. We had ordered extra burritos to enjoy later in the day as well, but some brazen seagulls nipped our afternoon snacks while we were combing the beach for sea glass! Ar least we got some good seaglass, right? Deliciously fresh, modestly priced, dare I say best kept secret? Reminds me of this wonderful multi-generational place I used to visit when I was a grad student in Santa Barbara. It's gone now, and I never expected to come across another establishment like that, so I was surprised that El Charrito awoke that part of me after so many years. Love this place and I can't wait to enjoy their food again!

Ordered the carnitas and an egg, chorizo, and potato breakfast burrito. After having the Salinas location (Which was amazing), I was utterly disappointed in the quality of this location. The famous tortilla did not taste as fresh and texture as off. I do like how at this location that they pack the meat and the portion sizes are a bit bigger, but the flavor of the carnitas was not as good, but still tasty. The breakfast burrito was very bland and a huge disappointment. It just seemed that there was no seasoning and no flavor. I cannot see myself coming back to this location.

You can tell it's been a local favorite for decades--the hand-scrawled signs and slogans everywhere give it so much character. They've been around for 40 years! The Blackened Chicken sandwich is what they're famous for, and it lives up to the hype as I've been ordering it since middle school. It's got a solid kick, and that buttermilk garlic dressing they use is addictive. If you're leaning more toward the taqueria side, the Blackened Shrimp Tacos and the Steak Fajitas are the move. I also get the House Burrito a lot as it's one of their famous specialties. Everything feels fresh and grilled, not greasy, which is a nice change of pace. The service is fast and friendly and the portions are huge for the price. It's a small, no-frills spot inside, but they have plenty of seating and a steady stream of locals picking up takeout which is always a good sign. Every meal comes with chips and salsa! Pro tip: They're closed on Sundays, so make sure you get your fix during the week. Definitely the best spot in PG for a quick, high-quality lunch that won't break the bank.
